Default Shifting beep, no more???
I don't remember last time I heard it. I'm on TTFS tune since July and I'm hitting rev limiter often since then (don't know if it's a coincidence?). I then came to the fact that I don't hear the beeping anymore. That's probably why I was waiting to hear it before my shift and I don't anymore.
Is it possible the tune removed the beeping? Can something else remove it?

Can't say for the TTFS tune as very few people it seems have their tune but I'm tuned on RR's tune and I still have my beep?

Hmm could it have stopped working? Come to think of it I can't remember the last time I heard a beep either - I don't have a tune.

Did you try plugging your car with techstream?
That's the only thing I did aside from the tune.

Plugged it into a code reader for other reasons and didn't get anything strange, also haven't noticed anything else off about the car, Does the beep link to anything else that won't be working with it? If it doesn't take anything else with it when it goes out then I'm not too concerned about getting it fixed as it was probably my least favorite thing about the car.

That beep is important when really pushing . I'd call the tuning company

I really like the "beep", it allows for more consistency as stated by I8ABMR & is far more effective than a shift light imho.

Some journalists (Tiff Nadell of 5th Gear) hated it.

The exhaust noise is a good enough indicator for me, haven't missed a shift yet! Anyways back on topic for the tune, I think TTFS was posting in another thread recently you should pm them directly.

I'm on it at the moment. Will see how it goes.
I don't know if the tune can be the cause.

Pretty sure my shift beep has been working on my TTFS but haven't paid much attention lately.

Yes, normally it will sound a fraction of a second before your optimal shift point in manual/sport mode.
